Bispebjerg

Bispebjerg, more commonly referred to as Nordvest (English: North-West), is one of the 10 official districts of Copenhagen Municipality, Denmark.

Located on the northern border of the municipality, it covers an area of 5.39 km2 and a population of 40,033.

The district is bounded by Gentofte Municipality to the north, Østerbro and Nørrebro to the east and south-east, Frederiksberg to the south, Vanløse and Brønshøj-Husum to the west and Gladsaxe Municipality to the northwest.

Bispebjerg belonged to the civil parish of Brønshøj but in the 1890s, the City of Copenhagen acquired large pieces of land in the area with the intention of establishing a cemetery and a hospital in the grounds.

The district was generally built over with a combination of residential neighbourhoods and industry in the 1920s and 1930s.
